A big thank you to the members of this forum!

New to vaping... I went through 3 kits, 3 different brands, a few hundred bucks and was about to give up. Then I came across this forum and found so many insightful and helpful posts that I built 2 units from radio shack and home depot parts over the last 3 days and they out perform everything I bought from the crooks.

Thanks to y'all, I'm almost fully done with cigarettes now (only 2 today), and I have a great new hobby.

In short... This foum kicks ....!

Don't knowbif I would go so far as to say crooks. I know some devices perform better but my setup is a non-mod. I have tried the little 510s and another ego clone. I think it depends on the person.

lol- If you were charged $200 bucks for a set of 'White Cloud'... You may think otherwise.
Everyone new to vaping should definitely do their due diligence before spending their hard earned cash. Lesson learned.
hopefully, others will not repeat my mistakes.

Thank goodness I found this forum before I made a stupid mistake to order more rip-off cartridges from Smoke Free Online (thank goodness my kit was a present 'cause I would cry if I had to shell out $200 for a starter kit). Now I have 3 beautiful babies - eGo, eGo-T, and my newest addition, Go-Go. All thanks to the wonderful, free information available here from nice people.

I wouldn't call them all crooks. The whole idea is to get off analogues. If they served that purpose, it was money worth spent. However, a mod will always give a better hit than a proprietary ecig. Congrats for not giving up.

there are plenty of good vendors out there that actually have your kicking the habit in their interest and not just money. thats why this is a great forum, you can find many in here. congrats on your journey!

Try wasting a couple hundred on v2 cigs dud cartridges- I agree with Wooden Indian - I mean defects are gonna happen sometimes with any manufactured product but when the co keeps sending them and won't replace or refund that -to me - is the same as stealing so I would say the word "crooks" could very well be appropriate in some cases -The problem with these companies is that it really does drive some people who are not aware of all the options back to analogs so IMHO these places are harming people in more ways than just financially-I almost went back to analogs- I have said my piece and plan to put it behind me so I won't keep harping on it but I wish I had known before I ever gave my credit card # to v2- luckily there is a happy ending to my story- I found this forum and all the great folks here have helped me out so much-I was really reluctant about filling my own cartos but it is so easy! I just got my ego today and am so happyyyyyy! I also want to thank the forum members who helped me- Good for you Wooden Indian I feel ya -We're here now so onward and upward right!
I LOVE MY NEW EGO!!!!

I was thrilled and extremely grateful to find this forum, too. It never occurred to me that there would be a forum about e-cigs, although it shouldn't have been any surprise when I ran across it while googling since there are forums for just about everything out there.

This place, though, is filled with so many wonderful and supportive people who are happy to help in any way they can.

It's also really cool because people are so cheerful about ridding themselves of cigarettes, either right away or weaning over time. You won't find many grim white-knucklers here!

Thank you ECF and Congratulations Wooden Indian! I would also like to thank the mall kiosk guy for talking me in to my first PV. Also out of a few bills, it pales in comparison to what I was letting cigarettes take from me. Best of luck and Happy Vapin

Welcome to ECF, and don't give up, now you got some great PV's you made you should be able to kick those analogs in no time, it takes a little while! Very industrious of you!

Certainly there are crooks in the ecig business as there are in any business but there are way more good vendors out there then there are crooks, at least here in the US. I've been fortunate to not run into any. I've used 50 or more US vendors and have had very good service and got what I paid for.

Now the malls guys, well what can I say that hasn't already been said. But look at it this way. They are bringing ecigs out in the open and people are curious. So maybe they are ripping people off but at the same time they are exposing people to ecigs and a lot of people have switched. I'm not trying to defend them by any means, but they are serving a purpose. Exposing people to ecigs.
